Katherine and Ryan met 8 years ago while they were students at Wake Forest University. They lived across the hallway from each other sophomore year in Martin Residence Hall, but did not officially meet until second semester at one of Katherine’s sorority date functions. Ryan's roommate set him up on a blind date with one of Katherine’s sorority sisters for their annual “Crazy Hat.” Did we mention there were themed outfits involved? Katherine was dressed as Tigger, and Ryan as Batman. Although they attended the event with different dates, they struck up a conversation on the bus ride to the event, instantly connecting. From that night on, they were inseparable. From studying abroad together in Barcelona to years of long distance in NYC and Winston-Salem, late nights at law school and L’Oréal, and family trips to Naples and Charleston, the Jersey girl and Dallas boy fell more in love, while also becoming the best of friends. In early 2022, Katherine made the move to Dallas and they never looked back. On December 29, 2022, Ryan proposed to Katherine on their favorite beach in Naples with the most beautiful sunset behind them. As you know, there is nothing more important to them than their close friends and family, and they cannot wait celebrate their wedding with you in Naples!
